This discussion, between two of the most powerful voices in contemporary Ukrainian cultural life, both of who have made the switch from Russian to Ukrainian, will touch on changes in attitudes to language under conditions of war, Ukraine’s complex linguistic history, and the future of the country’s linguistic landscape.

Yet language has also been the focus for political manipulation and misinformation. Ukraine’s linguistic landscape has always been rich and complex: over the centuries, many languages have been spoken there, and today bilingualism is common.
